Well, the

G 
C 
G 
C 
G 
D 
G 
times,
they are changing,
C 
oh, so rapidly
G 
C 
G 
With the fast pace of life,
A 
D 
right now's a memory
G 
I think of all the things I've seen
C 
G 
and all the things I've done
C 
G 
I think of what I'm yet to see
D 
G 
and all the things to come
And I wonder about old times
C 
G 
and all the things I've missed
C 
G 
Try to live it through a textbook
A 
D 
or my television set
G 
C 
G 
I listen to the stories told by everyone
C 
G 
About and around the time
D 
G 
when my old man was young
C 
And back when folks were simple
G 
but times would sure get hard
C 
And stores were closed on Sunday
A 
D 
and food was cooked with lard
G 
Sometimes I  wish I could have seen
C 
the times when this was done
G 
C 
G 
A  time that has passed us by
D 
G 
C 
when my old man was young
G 
C 
G 
A 
D 
G 
C 
G 
C 
G 
D 
G 
I think of all the babies
C 
G 
that are born these days
C 
G 
I think of what they'll see,
A 
what they'll witness,
D 
what will change
G 
Nobody ever would have thought
C 
what is now would become
G 
C 
G 
Back forty years ago
D 
G 
when my old man was young
C 
Back when folks were simple
G 
but times could sure get hard
C 
When stores were closed on Sunday
A 
D 
and food was cooked with lard
G 
Sometimes I  wish I could have seen
the times
C 
G 
when this was done
C 
G 
The time that has passed us by
D 
G 
C 
when my old man was young
G 
C 
A 
D 
G 
C 
G 
C 
G 
D 
G 
By the time it keeps on tickin',
C 
G 
but our clock does stop
C 
G 
And the future is left
A 
D 
for those who haven't seen a lot
G 
So they can experience
C 
G 
life and all it's fun
C 
G 
And so I may join all those from
D 
G 
when my old man was young
C 
Well, back when folks were simple,
G 
the times did sure get hard
C 
When stores were closed on Sunday
A 
D 
and food was cooked with lard
G 
Sometimes I  wish I could have seen
C 
the times
when this was done
G

A time that has passed us by

Sometimes I wish I could have seen
